Home Forums Hunting & Shooting AR and Tactical Rifles AR Triggers

I am going to install an aftermarket trigger in a SBR for plinking, range play, and mainly for hunting. I was leaning towards a Timney or Triggertech but while at a gun store yesterday, there was a Rise Armament trigger display. The display allowed me to test three of their various triggers. The RA-535 seemed like a nice product.

What’s the verdict on their triggers

I've got a rise armament trigger nothing really bad to say about it always been fine. diverse now I got I think is 3 lb little bit heavier than I like but it is in an AR so I also understand the limits.
I trust it well enough I put it in the AR I built for my wife she's actually deer hunting with it this year..

Geissele SSA-E

One blanked primer & a cartridge/drop in trigger will be AFU.

Lately, if you can get used to a 2 stage and thats awful easy, La Rue MBT for us.

If we were still shooting matches all I'd run would be Geiselle though.. But our truck and hunting guns are not nearly as demanding.

I have a Rise armament LE415 trigger in my 10mm AR. Mainly because the light triggers are just way too light for a gun that has a lot of direct blowback.

The LE415 trigger is more closer to the pull weight of a milspec trigger.

I have no problem with the trigger or the brand. It's been fine. I'll likely use the carbine later this week because it's modern gun season where I live right now and that's the whole reason why I made the gun.

This is a perfect use of a 2 stage trigger. Where you are afraid of doubling, the 2 stage eliminates that while still being able to provide a 1-2 pound pull very crisp, on the second stage.

The Geissele G2S has been on sale for $99 for the past year or so at every holiday, they are good enough for me.

That, the MBT2S, and RRA 2 stage varmint match are all in that same price range. All very acceptable for my uses. I have a SSAE in my iron sight rifle that I shoot right handed. It works well enough for me, but sometimes too light in some rifles I've had it in. AR10 308 for example. I'd double tap that one every once in a while, so I switched it around to one that works good enough for me. While shooting left handed (dominant eye), it just feels too light.

Jeff, did you ever get around to trying out that Jard trigger?

Would a 2 stage work in a blowback PCC?

I have little experience with the PCC, but I read they are hard on the triggers.

Rather like the low end Rise RA-140 SST myself was just over $100 now more. Use trigger pins with screws on the ends to prevent drift...mb

I like my Geissele SSA, but for most applications, standard 2 stage mil spec works fine.

I like the Geissele SSA as well. Primary arms has the curved triggertech for $97

What are you calling standard mil spec two stage?

I ended up ordering a Timney skeletonized from Red Hawk in their recent sale. I look forward to seeing how it performs.

Think you'll like it.

I bought one of those just after they came out & it has approx 4000 cycles on it without a stutter.

The LaRues are markedly better with a lighter trigger spring.

If the gun gets much use, cheap single stage triggers tend to not be so good after a lot of use.

YMMV

The second stage is hard on the MBT. I see it more as a combat trigger than a precision one.
Would the JP be the solution for a hunting build?
